Induced brane gravity: realizations and limitations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The induced 4d gravity on a brane world is analyzed. The case of a thick brane is considered and the unexpected appearance of a new threshold scale, much larger than the thickness scale is found. In cases of phenomenological interest, this new length scale turns out to be in the submillimeter range. The effect of R corrections, both in the bulk and on the brane, is also studied. It is shown that they introduce new threshold scales and may induce drastic modifications to the leading behavior. A concrete string/D-brane realization of the induced gravity scenario is also presented.

Spherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملD-branes in Standard Model building, Gravity and Cosmology
D-branes are by now an integral part of our toolbox towards understanding nature. In this review we will describe recent progress in their use to realize fundamental interactions. The realization of the Standard Model and relevant physics and problems will be detailed. New ideas on realizing 4-dimensional gravity use the brane idea in an important way. Such approaches will be reviewed and compa...
متن کاملLectures on Warped Compactifications and Stringy Brane Constructions
In these lectures, two different aspects of brane world scenarios in 5d gravity or string theory are discussed. In the first two lectures, work on how warped compactifications of 5d gravity theories can change the guise of the gauge hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem is reviewed, and a discussion of several issues which remain unclear in this context is provided. In the nex...
متن کاملGravity on de-Sitter 3-Brane, Induced Einstein-Hilbert Term and Massless Gravitons
We study five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled covariantly to 3-brane with induced gravity on the brane, and consider warped D=4 de Sitter background field solution on the brane. Following background field method we obtain the field equation described by the Lagrangean terms bilinear in quantized gravitational field. In such a free field approximation on curved background we calculate expli...
متن کاملBrane-induced gravity in more than one extra dimensions: violation of equivalence principle and ghost
We consider brane-induced gravity model in more than one extra dimensions, regularized by assuming that the bulk gravity is soft in ultraviolet. We study linear theory about flat multi-dimensional space-time and flat brane. We first find that this model allows for violation of equivalence between gravitational and inertial masses of brane matter. We then observe that the model has a scalar ghos...
